PASADENA, Maryland – A Pasadena teen is arrested for slapping a school crossing guard who was trying to take a picture of her license plate.

It all stemmed from a traffic violation that occurred Tuesday afternoon. Police say the teen driver ignored the school crossing guard’s signal to remain stopped and preceded to make a right turn through a crosswalk full of pedestrians.

Nutty News of the World: Scotland – A teenage girl in Scotland with an extremely rare medical condition was told by doctors that brushing her hair could kill her. Megan Stewart, 13, suffers from hair brushing syndrome, which means that contact with static electricity could cause her brain to shut down. Her condition came to light as she got ready for school in Wishaw, central Scotland. Her mother, Sharon, said, “I was brushing her hair in the living room when she flopped over and her lips turned blue.
